Simple DIY Pole Barn in 10 min

- I am not a professional so this is not a tutorial but a documentary of my progress of building my homestead from scratch. I am a former office girly learning new skills. So I took it upon myself to build this 16 x 20 ft pole barn
I genuinely appreciated you showing the parts where you looked just absolutely over it and still figured out a way to manage it! I would have never thought of adding the diagonal piece of wood to hold your big one in place long enough to get it screwed in. Really inspiring!
Yep
Finally a real world experience.
So true
I was thinking the same thing. I love that she showed the whole picture. You're awesome ma'am 😊
Agree! So glad you kept it completely real because the struggle for all of us is real❤ I’m constantly riding the struggle bus but by simply keeping at it where there’s a will there’s a way!❤
As a former construction worker...I gotta say I feel every single one of those times you had a side glance to the camera. "Count to three" moment for sure.
Trying to build like that, on your own, is when you realize how frustrating ONLY having two hands can be.
It's looking great, and guess what? You made it!
U are inspirational! Love what you are showing and the hard work doesn't go unnoticed!
It’s refreshing to see normal people build something that’s clearly frustrating for a solo diy.
Good job 👏
As another self taught girly Homesteader to another. Thank you. A quick recc: Though your videos are not a tutorial, with your unique pioneering woman way of doing things, it would be very helpful to us aspiring to list the materials you use. Thank you again for sharing your journey.
That’s an amazing idea. I always feel a little intimidated about „how tos“ since I’m a newbie and still make a lot of mistakes and don’t want to recommend something wrong. But it may be worth a shot! Thank you 🥰
I totally agree.i homestead too and I love your videos!! I need a pole barn - well, a whole barn!! I have been very intimidated but I think I will just go for it. Right after I finish my house I am building!!
Question: what was your reason for concret ing the posts at the end rather than the beginning? Very interesting.
Yeah, I wanted to know about that, too......
I guess it’s so you can use totally equal length pieces where required and then square it up at the end by pushing or pulling. Then concrete it square.
Wondering that myself. Idk if it matters or not, but seems like the structure would shift a little as you build if post are not set in concrete
The best part of this build! You being real enough to show what happens to DIY’ers and Pro’s everyday, the drops, finger pinching, head butts and generally wanting to set fire to the build but keeping level headed, great job. ❤
😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When she learns to notch, it's game over for the wood!
Yeah hitting your nose really hurts too, but she handled it like a champ! haha
How about bracing that structure before you get some wind. Concrete in shallow holes won’t stop it racking in a blow.
I’m enjoying your videos. Thanks for the content!
Good job! One suggestion: i wld put a support beam in the middle coz thats a long span 👍🏻
Yep. She could avoid support poles in the middle if she used heavier roof beams. 16 ft. is a long span for a 2x6. I'm not going to look it up, but 2x12" beams would probably be appropriate. But those are going to be super heavy to handle solo. Over time I expect 16' 2'x6"s to start sagging under their own weight -- I have some 12' treated 2'x6" with no load on them at all that serve as gates for my cattle feeding area and they've warped and bent over time.
Total respect to the doers like yourself - not the blowhards and finger pointers! Very helpful and inspirational to all us non-professionals out here!
I know the materials are awkward and heavy. You manage all that like a pro!!! Who ever taught you how to use all those power tools and figure out everything must be so proud of you.
And if your self taught you are even more amazing ❤
She taught herself by learning by doing and watching youtube videos. Its not that hard, just time consuming and requires a lot persistence.
This is definetly one of the most kick-ass videos I've seen! I deeply appreciate you sharing your struggles just as much as you shared your successes. So happy I found your channel! You go girl!
Damn, girl, you're tough as hell. Great work on everything. Thanks for showing the bloopers and outtakes, you make me realize I'm not the only one doing them. Hahah! Really impressive work and I appreciate the good content.
Godspeed.
From an Ontario farmboy: GOOD GOING GIRLIE! That was a lot of hard work and stick-with-it-iveness! Good job. Now you have a shed and you have learned a lot in the process.
After all that effort, please add 2x6 or 2x8 triangulation braces to protect it from getting taken down in a storm. Lag them on from 2 feet down from all posts up to the headers on a 45° angle. The braces on the posts in the middle should form a 'V' shape. You will be amazed how much more rigid it will become with just that one step. If you want to make the braces SUPER-strong, cut scrap 5/8" or 3/4" exterior plywood to the shape of each brace. Screw the pieces on over the braces with 2½" screws every 4 inches around the perimeter. You can use longer screws where they go through the brace into the post. Those are called gussets, and they greatly reinforce the braces.
great work. If you need a laborer, fly me to Florida I'll give you a hand, just don't feed me to any gators. Just kidding :).
Some body needs to teach you how to use a phd (post hole digger) and a water level, would help you alot. Why bend over when screwing braces off. Make em long and screw em at 4 feet high. Don't mean to pick on you, one thing's for sure, you ain't lazy
Quick tip, screw the support boards in on the face 90 degrees to the board you are trying to set into place. Hard to explain, but once you get it, it works much better. You can also use quick grip clamps and just clamp the clamp to the 4-by then rest the board you are installing on the bar of the clamp. Then clamp the opposite end into place, then come back and clamp the 2-by in place to the 4-by. This probably makes zero sense.... sorry, ez to do, but Not ez to explain in text.
I've done a lot work by myself, so I share in your misery. Great job by the way. Keep it up.
That makes total sense, put the 2x perpendicular, so that you have a "4" rest" for your board. Or a clamp. Or I was thinking I would drive a line of screws at a 45 into my "helper board" and that way the beam I am trying to set can wriggle off of it. It would give the helper board a "lip".
I like that, putting the assist board at 90 degrees is the way (if you don't have clamps)
I know those frustrating sighs & looks ,dropping stuff time after time ,whilst trying to calculate making it work ,we'll done my loverly ,I was once like you ,I miss being able to do it now ,but at least I enjoyed the end results ,today just looking up at the sun gives me a nose bleed😂
You are just pure determination girl!! Awesome!! But please be sure to also treat yourself with TLC when you need it!!! ❤❤
She earned every inch of that barn and i like that she was smart enough to pull up that roofing from the back side, never know where a snake might be napping
You do excellent. I'm proud of you kiddo
I like how you left all the frustrating bits in. Glad I'm not the only one. Well done on the build. Inspires me to get it going after some years of procrastination.
Good effort, but I really think the construction is not up to the task. I hope there is no chance you have snow or heavy wind. I would recommend doing some more research on building methods, it will save you money and headaches in the future.
Will you be installing some braces from your poles to the cross board on an angle ? Some triangulation will protect you from collapse due to high wind or storm.
The concrete is not enough to prevent twisting . I t would be an awful shame after all that hard work.
Love the 0 conversation, nothing but, gettin into it work vlog.
Well this video didn’t help anyone who needs help , waste of 5 minutes couldn’t watch the rest
I loved the snake check on that piece of tin. My hubby, a city boy, learned the hard way about doing that shortly after we bought our farm. The height to which he threw that sheet of 4x8 plywood would have been super impressive had he not squealed like a girl while doing it. 🤣
Great job. Few real women like her around anymore!
A couple of quick clamps from the big box store would've made it a lot easier for you.
Please add diagonal bracing to keep the structure standing up.

Good jab 👍
excellent job! gives me inspiration to redo mine right after my ex-husband did it wrong when i told him this is how you do it. Girl Power!!!
Yes we want to see that video!!
My mom’s name is Viola. Not a name you see or hear much these days. You are one badass!
There's a hard working young lady that apparently knows what shes doing. Enjoyable to watch for some reason. Probably because it's somewhat of a rarity.
My mama always said don’t wait for the menfolk to do it..ploughing into it and do it yourself. She built a greenhouse in her 70s using scrap lumber and a hammer and nails. She was still using the greenhouse in her 90s.
And what have you done?..
PRETTY SURE MEN INVENTED THE CAR, SKYSCRAPER, SPACE ROCKET, JET FIGHTER, NEED I GO ON ? KNOW YOUR ROLE
Girl what was that sound where you stop working and look up? Have you ever seen any cryptic beings out there in all those woods? Dogman? Just curious.
Biggest take away from this is that if something falls when you are on a ladder LET IT GO. All that time and the ladder didn't tip over, if you try and hang on all you will do is go down with it.
Excellent work! Please consider wearing safety glasses.
Total Beast!
Hell yeah Sister! Gettin it done! ❤ I felt every board drop, every slam of the hole digger and even the nose shot like it was my own. Strong, independent women will figure it out or die tryin.
As a “one man show” I can absolutely appreciate your struggles! A couple small bar clamps would really help out. They will pay for themselves the first time you use them!
Great job, appreciate the hardwork and not cutting out the struggles. You make it real unlike so many vids where they try to edit the video to look so simple. I been there and it’s a lot of work doing a pole barn alone. I used logs from trees on my property. ❤
I need a woman like this at my place...most of these modern women are too lazy to even get out of the house, except to get in a car to go spend money... good job! 🖖🏿😎👍🏿
You earned my sub with the post-holer nose punch.
I hope it didn't hurt to much, though. 😊
I worked construction for a number of years while going to college. You did a great job and to be honest, even the people doing it for a living make mistakes and drop stuff. Two suggestions. One, when installing your boards at the top of the posts, screw a 2x4 to the post perpendicular to the way the new board will be running. This way you'll have more than just the width of a 2x4 to rest your new board on. Second, on each post add a board angled from the post up to your board running acrossed the top. I prefer to mount it on the post about 2'-3' from the top and just run it at a 45* angle. This diagonal bracing will prevent side to side and front to back movement.
Love the fact your showing the work can be done alone zero help
Much Respect 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
WOW REAL WOMEN DO EXIST
Awesome job 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾👍👍❤
What you lack in experience, you make up for with tenacity. Congrats.
Click bait! There is no way she built this in 10 minutes. Digging those holes alone probably took at least 30 minutes. 😂
I think the title means that the VIDEO is 10 minutes, not the build. 😅
Very nice job young lady.
Finalmente alguien que muestra la frustración que pasamos cuando las cosas se ponen dificiles, excelente 👌 video.
Very good content, and Wow. Thanks for keeping the 'bloopers' in, it shows what it really takes to do a build by yourself, and the 'learning' process that it takes as you go.
Helpful tip get gravel to put in the bottom of the post holes in Florida soil is so wet it will help with drainage over time great work also 😊
I was wondering if she should pour some concrete around the pole base or maybe it wouldn't set up? I'm not familiar with Florida.
Question: I would have put concrete in when I set the corner poles, thinking it had to be firm before screwing and hammering. Is that not right? You leave that for last? Hope you see this a month after commenting. Thanks.
@@lhmccool67 pour it in dry it will pull enough water from the soil to make concrete set the gravel at the boys drainage only
@@juliapope7663 the gravel is for drainage only concrete can be premixed and poured into the hole or poured in dry the water in the soil will make the concrete
@@markcampbell1417Sorry, I must have sounded confused. My question is, should the gravel and/or cement be put into the holes when the post are put in, or is it okay to wait until construction is complete. I know you don't want to sound critical of the video, and I don't either, but I am getting ready to do something similar and I thought that the posts should be firm before construction. I just want to be sure to do it correctly and, frankly, this did confuse me slightly.
Love your build edit. My strat for dealing with dropping pencils and tapes is to have a couple on me when I'm up high just in case. I also love to forget to bring stuff up the ladder (ADHD). Inspiring af, my janky Harbor Freight tarp carport is falling apart and this is what I really needed to see. I've never done anything like this either.
I need one of these to put up on some wooded property to park equipment. Problem is it’s going to have to built by two tough old ladies. I think this build is doable. Thx
I would put some triangles into the framing, it looks a bit wiggly.
It looks a lot wiggley.
@violasakzentranch
where did you find the plans for the pole barn and watching you work seems like you have a lot of know how with building stuff! Thanks
Danggggg ! 🤩
We wish we could give this 1,000 likes ...
You're the definition of 'sheer determination' ! EPIC THUMBS UP ! ..and thanks for sharing (newly subbed)
😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Viola well done and sending love and prayers. Thanks ❤
Really motivational content!!! 👍😍👍
You did great Hun. I would love for u to write a list of lumber u used as well as measurements of the lumber 😊
This chick obviously never heard the saying “work smarter, not harder”
I wonder if I could do this, tall enough for my camper?
Maybe try putting your brace board to run the other direction so the other one doesn’t slide off so easy. It doesn’t have to be perfectly aligned just pretty close.
Wow, absolute 100% respect. “The only thing stopping you, is YOU!” . Great job!
I think it's safe to say she hasn't handled a lot of poles or wood, but, damn if she doesn't have some perseverance and no-quit attitude! Kudos to doing this all by yourself! Well done!
❤
Fantastic job, I know you have an unbelievable amount of marriage proposals coming in daily.
You are IMPRESSIVE!
Great build my question why you do the Quick Crete last?
You need to invest in some clamps. Then you would have all the extra hands you need.
She is Srrong ...... Like mother Lioness .. protecting her cubs .... 😮
You go girl! You got this! Good job. Love your "scare the mice/spiders/snakes away" trick!
I would recommend some diagonal braces.
I can feel the frustration and persistence.I have been in this same spot building a building and dropping the boards a million times.
I would love to be this country woman's hubby❤
A couple clamps would really help you hold the boards in place
Determination makes u stronger ,a strong mind makes you genuine
I just stumbled across this channel and I'm blown away! You are one bad-ass lady! I think I'm in love! Fortunately for you, I'm already married. 🤣
Love this! I’m big on dyi and seeing a girl alone doing this HUGE project alone is so inspiring 😊
WHAT YOU GOT AGAINST STRONG MEN WHO DID IT FIRST FOR OVER 2,000 YEARS?
You did a great job with those boards and posts! They aren't light in weight, that's for sure! You overcame many obstacles and you are an inspiration!!
Go girl! Proud of you!
GOD BLESS WOMEN LIKE HER AND LEGINS .
I really appreciate all your doing by yourself n how hard it looks to do. Not all done without showing all the failed attempts. How things really are in the world. You pushed through n got it done great job
You are so inspiring, thanks for showing us that it can be done!!! Really enjoyed the video
I admire your industry! I’m learning a lot, too!
Your perseverance is admirable.
Seeing this gave me so much hope. I am a former city girl on a solo mission with a small horse + guinea fowl farm. I needed some serious inspiration to renovate my barn and guinea coop and this was it! Thank you for sharing this.
imagine being the luckiest SOB to marry this awesome woman, holy shit impressive
I have a lucky SOB, that tells me to stop building things. 😂
Beautiful and strong is a hard combination to find
Love all the hard work
Great content
Build more great build series
Cool. Work alone. ❤
как-то не очень. всё висит на гвоздях
I would appreciate long videos of your girlie shed build and any other builds you have done
Very cool. Inspiring. As I need to do this !!
Please some videos on the inside as well❤
I love how you left the little incidents/mistakes in...that's real life 👍
Plus that's a fine dog you got there ❤
Just a note for next time. Measure the width of your board, mark it from the top down carry your ladder to 1st post aline the top of board to top of post put a screw through the middle just to hold in place (dont drive screw all the way in). As you lift the opposite end the board will swing into place. No more dropping the board.
Edited to say You are doing amazing!! Love your content!
I wondered if she might want to bolt to the posts. 🤔
😅 get a man mama 😅 but good job
Great job!
